Sequence of COVID-19 Vaccination and COVID-19 Infection and Their Association With the Development of Active Tuberculosis: A Case-Control Study.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction Information regarding the cross-risk of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and tuberculosis (TB) is still sparse. This study aimed to identify the patterns of sequence of COVID-19 vaccination and COVID-19 infection and to explore the association between COVID-19 vaccination, COVID-19 infection, and the development of active TB. Methods It was a case-control study conducted in RSUD Dr. Iskak Hospital, Tulungagung, between October 2022 and April 2023. Active cases of TB patients were compared with non-TB controls in the same hospital, with the same age and sex. Their pattern of sequence of COVID-19 vaccination and infection was investigated. Logistic regression was used to assess the association between these key variables. Results Of 296 case-control sets, 64.2% were female. The mean ± standard deviation of age was 46 ± 15.6 years. 5.7% of the cases and 6.4% of the controls had a history of COVID-19 infection, whereas 58.8% and 68.4% had been vaccinated (mostly after infection). The adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval) of COVID-19 infection on risk to the development of active TB was 1.45 (0.58, 3.65). Those of COVID-19 vaccination of one to four doses were 0.42 (0.17, 1), 0.98 (0.58, 1.66), 0.48 (0.25, 0.93), and 0.09 (0.01, 0.81), respectively. Conclusion It was found that there were five patterns of sequence of COVID-19 infection and COVID-19 vaccination, with the most frequent being having COVID-19 infection before COVID-19 vaccination. Our data did not support the association between COVID-19 infection and the subsequent development of active TB. On the other hand, COVID-19 vaccination has been demonstrated to increase some protection against the development of active TB.
